Despite what some people have posted the mandatory wearing of face masks is not stopping the Covid-19 virus as the number of positive cases is steadily increasing.
In my opinion when people enter a shop or travel on public transport they should have their temperature taken and if it is above 38.4C they should be told to immediately get a Covid-19 test.
That would help stop the spread of the virus. That irresponsible SNP MP Margaret Ferrier who would have been refused travel from Glasgow to London as her temperature would have been above the permitted level.
Problem there Islay is that a high temperature is one of a few symptoms of Covid-19, other include cough and loss of taste / smell but everyone doesn't necessarily run a temperature. I've said previously that I believe I might have had it early on as both myself and my wife lost our sense of taste (yeah OK troll boy, she obviously never had one) but neither of us had a high temperature or any other symptoms.

Face coverings are completely useless against any microscopic virus, that's all face masks not just the novelty branded ones.
